Colombia defeated Jordan 2-0 in an international friendly in their final tune-up before the 2026 World Cup. Jhon Arias was the star of the match, scoring both goals as Colombia controlled most of the action and closed their preparations with a convincing victory.

In the second half, Colombia took complete control of the game and created several clear opportunities. Arias added his second goal with a header from a Santiago Arias cross, while Jordan‘s task became even more difficult after Amer Jamous was sent off for a second yellow card late in the match.
